Chapter 17: The Strongest Rival – Australia
Li Chuanfeng was very eager for this game, because he was even more excited after seeing the Australian list, the best experience was to play with a high-intensity team, this time Australia sent the strongest lineup, their core Bogut did not participate, but this did not affect their strength, because their players are very tough.
The Austrian national basketball team is a national basketball team that participates in international basketball tournaments. Australia is one of the world's strongest teams in basketball, regularly qualifying for the Olympics and the World Championships, with their best finish at the Olympics being fourth (1988, 1996, 2000) and their best finish at the World Championships being fifth
Their important player Andrew? Bogut became the 2005 Champion of the Year. The 7-foot-tall Australian also became the second international champion in NBA history after Yao Ming; At the same time, this is also the first champion show to have studied in the United States in five years. Bogut is a rare, well-rounded standard centre-forward. A sophomore at the University of Utah, he represented his school in the NCAA this season, averaging 20.4 points, 12.2 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game. Scouts in the U.S. think Bogut and Divac are very similar. They believe that at just 20 years old, Bogut may be the best center in his age, and that he will be able to adapt to the NBA game more easily when he is studying in the United States. When David? When Stern announced that this year's No. 1 pick was Bogut, the Australian extended his right hand and saluted the world. However, this year's Asian Championships, Boguart did not participate, but Australia should not be underestimated either.
Captain Damir? Martin: Australian national basketball team guard, Damian? Martin's three-point shooting has improved dramatically, his accuracy has improved a lot, and his defensive ability has been excellent, and he was voted the best defensive player in the Australian NBL League in 2010. He currently plays for the Perth Wildcats in Australia.
No. 5 Patrick? Mills: Nicknamed "Patty", he's very fast, and his little guy is very good at scurrying around the field. He started basketball at the age of 4 and is the youngest player in the history of the Australian men's basketball team to enter the national team. In April 2006, he was selected as the world team for the Nike Basketball Summit (8 points and 6 assists). In 2006, he won the Young Male Athlete of the Year award from the Australian Basketball Federation. He made his senior debut for Australia on 31 July 2007 and scored 11 points in his first game. He also had a good performance in Australia's qualification for the finals of the Beijing Olympics (coming off the bench to score 17 points against New Zealand). At the Beijing Olympics, Mills shined. In the group stage, he averaged 13 points per game, third on the team, along with 2.6 rebounds and two assists. A quarter-final against the United States, facing Jason? Kidd, Delon? Williams, Chris? Defending Paul and others, Mills scored 20 points in 28 minutes and 37 seconds, shooting 7-of-16, including 2-of-4 three-pointers, as well as three assists, two steals, and no turnovers. made the core of Dream Eight praised, and also got Kobe's encouragement. In all six games of the Beijing Olympics, Mills averaged 15.8 points and 1.7 steals per game, making him the team's highest-scoring guard and team-high in steals, and even ranked in the top 10 of all players in the Beijing Olympics. Although Mills is a black player, he is not born with outstanding physical qualities, but he is a trustworthy team leader who can not only organize the team with solid play, but also stand up bravely when the team is in trouble. After the Olympics, Mills returned to the collegiate arena and wanted to perform at the same level, but he was up and down and couldn't reach the heights he had at the Olympics. Many scouts agree that Mills can only play the role of a last-minute substitute in the league. Pros: Mills is known for his speed not only on his feet, but also on his jumps. Despite being only six feet tall, Mills' advantage in bounce allows him to shoot from a higher point against tall defenders. Is he even faster than Paul and Delon? Williams is even faster, he has a rhythmic and fluid jump shot that can be shot all the way beyond the three-point line. Mills can receive the ball from 15 feet away without dribbling and shoot before a defender is in position, whether he actually shoots or just makes a feint. But he wasn't smart enough to use any more basketball skills. Attacking power from the three-point line allows him to break down opposing defenses within 15-20 feet of the basket. Mills' shooting ability is excellent, but he still needs to find a way to make his grip more consistent. Disadvantages: The lack of height and strength has caused him to have a common disadvantage in the offensive and defensive ends. Mills' passing skills are average, and at St. Mary's, he mostly played off the ball to attack. While he does occasionally make brilliant passes in games, his passes are often lacking in penetration and don't make his teammates perform better like a good point guard. Defensively, Mills will have to learn to use his fast lateral moves more to his advantage. He relies on the speed of his feet to keep himself in front of the dribbler, but then too often, he tries to solve the problem with gambling tackles. He's been excellent in helping to defend, but his help still can't tightly limit the opponent's breakthrough from the big baseline area to the free throw area.
Number 6 Adam? Gibson: He rarely appears in international competitions, but Gibson is doing well in the domestic league, although he is only 23 years old, he has already won two Australian league titles, and in 2005 Gibson played in the U21 Men's Basketball World Championships, but at that time he only played as a fringe bench player, and did not get many opportunities to perform, at the World Championships in Turkey, Gibson will take on more responsibility on the defensive end. Another emerging player in Australia is a key player.
Number 7 Joe? Ingles: Ingles enjoyed a successful debut season at Spanish club Granada, averaging 11 points, four rebounds and three assists per game. After the Beijing Olympics, Ingles also hopes to expand his influence on the international stage, as a swingman on the front line, Ingles is very versatile, he can attack, he can also act as a tactical initiator, he can provide more energy to Australia's forward line.
No. 8 Brad? Newley: One of the leading scorers for the Australian men's basketball team, his accurate three-point shot and consistent mid-range jumper are his killer features. Before last year's election, he was considered by the local Australian media to be the successor to Andrew? After Bogut, Australia is the most likely active player to make it to the NBA. Strengths: Newley has a deep understanding of basketball, he plays smart, has excellent three-point shooting, has a wide vision, has a tenacious style of play, and has a strong ability to run off the ball. When he finds himself unable to open up the offense, Newley helps the team by focusing on other areas, such as grabbing defensive rebounds, handing out assists, and attracting defense. Cons: Newley is not fast enough to reach the NBA level, and at the same time, he is not strong enough and needs to strengthen his body. In addition to these basic conditions, Newley's first step when breaking through is not fast enough for defenders to force him and limit his space to shoot. In addition, Newly has little experience with masters.
Number 9 Steve? Markovic: In 2003, he won the gold medal at the U19 Men's World Basketball Championship with Australia, when he averaged 13 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists per game as a starter, especially in the finals against Lithuania, Markovic scored 30 points, including 4-of-7 three-pointers. Two years later, Markovic joined the team at the Under-21 World Basketball Championships, where he led the team to a fourth-place finish in the absence of Bogut, along with the likes of Nuly, Alec Marić and Damian Martin. Markovic is an excellent defender, an excellent ball handler and a reliable three-point shooter on the offensive end, having been trained in the leagues of Australia, Italy and Celvic in recent years, and will be showing his worth at both guard positions at the Asian Championships.
Number 10 David? Barlow: An excellent swingman at the front, Barlow can use his speed to complete the breakthrough when encountering a small defender, when encountering a small defender, Barlow can perform a single shot in the low post or directly over the opponent's head, and when encountering a player taller than himself, Barlow can use his speed to complete the breakthrough. In 009-10, Barlow had an outstanding rookie season in the Spanish league, where he played a game-high for Zaragoza, averaging 12.6 points and 6.2 rebounds per game, and led the team back to La Liga. In addition, Barlow has won the Australian League twice with the Sydney Kings and Melbourne Tigers, and Barlow knows how to win games and is a key figure in the Australian attack.
Mark 11? Worthington: A strong forward player, Worthington can score in the low post and shoot from anywhere on the court, at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Worthington averaged only 15 minutes per game and played extremely efficiently, ranking second in the team in rebounds per game, third in assists per game, and third in shooting percentage.
Number 12 Aaron? Baynes: A tough interior with a strong physique, mediocre athleticism; Lack of range, excellent offensive rebounding; Frequent turnovers and fouls, making it difficult to finish offense. In the 2013-14 season, Aaron? Baines won an NBA championship with the Spurs.
Number 13 David? Anderson: Plays as a center and power forward. He is a flexible interior player with a lot of game experience and strong mid-range projection. In 2005, 2006 and 2007, he helped CSKA Moscow win the Russian Premier League and the Russian Cup. In the Australian national team, David? Anderson is also an absolute workhorse. He with Boggart, Matthew? Together, Nielsen forms the team's interior barrier. The three players also have very different styles, Bogut is able to play low singles, Nelson is a tough player, and David? Anderson, on the other hand, can shoot inside and out, even beyond the three-point line. Anderson is 2.12m tall and doesn't have a lot of tonnage, but he's a nimble interior player. He can play both center and power forward positions, and averaged 11.2 points and 4.1 rebounds per game in the Europa League during the 2008 season with Barcelona. And in the Spanish league, he also averaged 10 points and 4 rebounds per game. Although the basket carrying skills are average, Zhongtou is very skilled. He is a good face frame player, and he also moves well in defense, and is not the "stupid big man" he imagined. However, his rebounding and blocks are lackluster, which could make him the focus of the opposition's attack.
Number 14 Matthew? Nielsen: Nielsen helped Australia win the gold medal at the U23 Men's World Championship in 1997 at the age of 19, which became one of the highlights of Nielsen's career, and he also performed well at the 2004 Athens Olympics, averaging 12.7 points and 4.7 rebounds per game, and in the game against Puerto Rico, Nelson grabbed 20 points and 7 rebounds and showed dominance under the basket. As early as 2004, Matthew Nelson won the MVP of the Australian League, and after six years, he played an excellent season in Europe, leading Valencia to win the European Cup, and Matthew Nelson won the MVP of the "Final Four" with his outstanding performance. Nelson is a typical team player, bringing his height, skill and tournament experience to the Australian national team, his scoring and passing prowess has been proven at international level, and his mid-range shooting can also open up space and cause problems for opponents.
Number 15 Alec? Marić: Spotted by NBA scouts in 2006, he was a top-10 player in the NBAA league BIG12 league, one of the best games in college, scored 41 points against kansas.st on February 13, 2007, and failed to participate in the draft in 2008.
Seeing Australia's introduction, Li Chuanfeng felt that the real opponent had slowly come towards them step by step.
